Verse 1:
Bb* Eb* Bb* Yeah, this one's for the workers who toil night and day Eb* F* By hand and by brain, to earn your pay Bb* Eb* Bb* For centuries long past for no more than your bread Eb Bb F Bb Have bled for your countries and counted your dead
Intro x1
Verse 2:
Bb* Eb* Bb* In the factories and mills, in the shipyards and mines Eb* F* We've often been told to keep up with the times Bb* Eb* Bb* For our skills are not needed, they've streamlined the job Eb Bb F Bb And with slide rule and stopwatch, our pride they have robbed
Chorus: (with intro in the background)
Bb Eb Bb We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die Eb F The first ones in line for that pie in the sky Bb Eb Bb And we're always the last when the cream is shared out Eb Bb F Bb For the worker is working when the fat cat's about
Verse 3:
Bb* Eb* Bb* And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war, Eb* F* Who's given the gun and then pushed to the fore (after this a Bb chord is
Bb* Eb* Bb* played up an octave)
And expected to die for the land of our birth
Eb* Bb* F* Bb* Though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth
Chorus x1
